Equipment
455/360hp, 4-speed, Hurst shifter, hood tach, 4.1 Safe-T-Track, buckets and console, pushbutton radio, SSII wheels, Wide Oval tires. PHS documented.
Condition
Represented as a “correct 4-bolt main block “. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. The chassis and engine compartment are restored like new. 2011 restoration that’s holding up well, but there is at least one issue at the front of the left front fender, and where there’s one there are probably more.
Market commentary
Sold by Mecum at St. Charles, Illinois in 2012 for $68,900 only a year after the restoration. The price it brought here is representative, but not for a GTO that can’t attest to the originality of the engine. The bidders ignored that salient feature and got carried away with the 455 and the rare special order Judge side stripe.
